I really burnt myself out today by watching a lot of anime today. Finally found time to start Captain Earth and for some reason Akuma no Riddle. Tomorrow I'll watch the Madoka Movie trilogy. I know the first and second movies are recaps, but I haven't seen the series since it aired, so it'll be a nice refresher.


Akuma no Riddle 01-10
Picked it up due to a friend suggestion. He loves it a lot and I honestly can't tell what's to like about it. The first few episodes did catch my interest, but when it obviously became a rinse and repeat sort of deal, interest died extremely quickly. There are only a few episodes left so I might as well stick around, eh. I'd like the characters to be fleshed out a bit more, but considering that they're assassins and time constraints, I suppose doing that is meaningless and would hurt the show a bit.

Captain Earth 01-10
Now I understand why I got a mixed reaction when I asked out it. Hana's cuteness aside, I enjoy the series. The characters mesh well and the overall writing is okay... But as of late, like I said with Akuma no Riddle, the episodes lately have been rather dry since it's become a simple copy and paste job. At least in this one they mixed it up and have Teppei fight this time and based on the preview, next week might be a breath of fresh air.

Soredemo Sekai Was Utsukushii 09
This episode was really nice. I really doubt Kitora will steal Nike away with how their relationship grew in this episode.

Jojo no Kimjou na Bouken Stardust Crusaders 10
R.I.P Avdol ;_;
Hey, what happened to Ann? I could've sworn she was on the train "with" them in the last episode. I would've thought they "found her by chance" or caught her following them or something.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 10
An episode where pretty much nothing happening and the only time where Mayuki can show off of her character she does nothing more than talk about her Onii-sama. Then again, I guess that's all she really do in that department...

Mekakucity Actors 09
Thank you SHAFT for screwing up the one part of the episode I really wanted to see most. As for the episode itself, since Kano was filling in for Ayano at school, does this mean that Shintaro fell for him and not the real Ayano? Man that's weird.

Everybody was focused on Miyuki this episode. Who gives a flying fuck about her, they should've all been praising Onii-sama for allowing them to be in his presence.They should be fucking honored that his incandescent aura is nearby, praise him even. Onii-sama is love and life. Also Miyuki clearly bullshitting that she doesn't want that Onii-dick, don't lie for social reasons, Wixoss has taught us that wincest is a-ok in society.

Next episode better have everybody dick riding onii-sama for solely existing or so help me god.

Oh god, that FMA vs Brotherhood thread is making me miss the days where BONES worked on FMA related stuff.

Just listening to those OPs...

i've read random bits of spoilers and the only thing that gets close to owning onii-sama is
a young American bishoujo who falls in love with him anyways (of course, she's a girl and thus vulnerable to onii-sama's masculinity/pheromones
and
some kind of a magic parasite thing/chinese dude who onii-sama probably wrecks anyways because onii-sama turns out to be some kind of a magic god/magic parasite from another dimension sent here to save our mortal souls

please don't look down on me for being addicted to spoilers for shit I don't even watch :(

lol at the CG opening for Mekaku City Actors


Good episode though. I like how everything is falling into place. How many episodes is this supposed to be? Anyways I feel like I should rewatch this once it ends just to comprehend everything.

See how can somebody read these spoilers and dislike the show? The show clearly doesn't give a fuck about its writing. They just want to satisfy our thirst,

Our thirst for Onii-sama. It's real.

lol this reminded me that someone I told to watch the Bakemonogatari series is currently taking a break after watching that episode. I think it's been almost a month and he hasn't continued the show :(

Only SHAFT could toss in a CG opening and I would still think the episode was great. Nice to see more backstory as well as adorable family moments.

Persona 3 Movie 1: Spring of Birth

Best husbando.

Very nicely done. Nicely animated, the action scenes were very good, the pacing wasn't completely terrible (I did laugh at the time skipping montage) and I like how Makoto is portrayed here.

This also reminded me Akihiko is still the best, Junpei is quite whiny at the start and Yukari is still whiny all the time.

Kamigami no Asobi 10

Tsundere talk to the teacher. Fun episode, doing a play with the gods where things go wrong was fun to watch.

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin 09

SUGITA RUINS EVERYTHING THE EPISODE.

Baby Steps 07

I am enjoying the practice our main character is going through. Even more I like he's starting to learn there's only so much you can learn through theory.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC V 08

Boring episode of setting up for a bunch of duels but of course no duels actually happened.

Pocket Monsters X/Y 29

That was some elaborate scheme of creating costumes, tricking people and building another new mecha just to catch Pikachu.

Shinryaku! Ika Musume 07-09

Squid girl continues to learn about the world.

Thanks to GAF now I can't help but imagine a show about gender-reversed fedora bros going around saying "milord" and writing blog posts about how men would be better off choosing them.

Scary. But its more like Glee.
Plus Sawa rocks the fuck out of her hat.

No matter how many characters they introduce, Inu x Neko continues to be the OTP of the show.

This TLG thread going on in Gaming right now is fantastic. Certainly a more entertaining story to follow than Kizu's nonexistent production, at least.
 
I didn't notice until now, but BlueSakuga has started doing monthly sakuga MADs again, that handy device for people who want to see cool recent animation highlights without actually sitting through a bunch of shows that may or may not have merit to them otherwise. I'll link them here for those interested:

2014
May (Highlights: Gundam Unicorn 7, Jojo: Stardust Crusaders, Disk Wars: Avengers of all shows)
April (Highlights: Ping Pong OP of course, Haikyuu, Naruto)
March (Highlights: Parol's Future Island, Magi, Gundam Build Fighters)

TLG as a whole has been an embarrassment for all parties involved. The crazy ass fans, Sony Japan for not whipping Team Ico into shape, and Team Ico not putting out a game after half a decade.

It will still probably come out before HL3 somehow, LOL.
